The Clock Is Ticking!

August 12th, 2009


Visit Scott Westerfeld’s website!

Because you asked: a Leviathan countdown timer! For the counting down of glorious time! Time till Leviathan!

How does it work? Well, you just select and copy the code in the box below, then stick it in your blog or whatever.

Small warning, this is an American countdown timer, which is only accurate for North America. I’m trying to get exact dates for the Oz and UK editions, and will then make adjustments. But don’t fret, Aussies and Brits, it looks like your edition will come out the same week as the US one—maybe even earlier!

Enjoy the ticking.

And don’t forget, the Uglies e-book is still free, free, free. Click here to go to Simon & Schuster’s download site.

    i like how the “until” is pulsing in and out.
    it makes me feel like something is going to explode.

    Scott! They’re always mis-spelling your name!
    Okay, not always, but in that article you had on your twitter…always with the field instead of the feld!
    At any rate, I LOVE the counter – i just wish i could get it on my facbeook.

    Hey Scott-la. You should get a countdown thing for the computer itself. Like it shows itself on the wallpaper or something.

    Awwws I’m like never commenting lately. But I still read the blog. This is saddening. But I love the timer! *wants leviathan NOW* Maybe if I figure out a way to speed it up it’ll confuse someone and they’ll let me buy a copy now…Scott! Idea! You should have a contest for an ARC. Like Maureen johnson did for Scarlett Fever. MORE THAN ONCE. *bounces up and down wanting leviathan now* PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. You never have contests!!! I missed coming on here and commenting. School’s starting in 5 days. And I am totally bummed about my schedule. Love my classes, but I have like NO classes with anybody I know. It’s gonna be awful.

    Not to be completely off topic, but have you ever heard of the game Persona 3? It’s insane how similar it is to midnighters– they have a ‘dark hour’, darklings are called shadows, etc etc. You should seriously just check it out, even if it’s the wikipedia page of it.

    *facepalms at the seem-to-be n00bs on the site*

    Anywho, awesome scott-sama! I’d totally put it somewhere, but the only thing I really do online is Gaiaonline.com, which takes BBCode, not regular HTML. Preez get a BBCode countdown? I’ll luff you even more than I already do!
    And no worries TZ, I’m the same way lately.

New Website

As you can see, my website has had its first makeover in many years. This is to celebrate the fact that my first new series in years, Leviathan, comes out this autumn. (October 6, to be exact.)

Things may be wonky for a while as we play around under the hood. But I hope you enjoy the new look. Let me know what you think!
